The North Face and Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen have unveiled their second collaboration, following its debut at Bahnsen’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway show during Paris Fashion Week.

Building on the foundation of their first partnership, the collection reimagines The North Face’s alpine icons through Bahnsen’s hyper-feminine couturier style. The latest lineup introduces new fabrics, winter-ready details, and an advanced layering system.

Launching October 30, the seven-piece collection embraces a warmer, richer palette. Highlights include a cinched-waist rework of the down Himalayan Parka, a quilted down skirt inspired by Bahnsen’s signature silhouettes, and an oversized down jacket that merges functionality with Bahnsen’s signature trimmings. Completing the collection are a reinterpreted Denali Fleece Jacket, a refined Wool DotKnit base layer, a crossbody bag inspired by vintage climbing gear, and fresh takes on The North Face’s Verto boots and Traction Mules.

 “Icons are not prescribed, they are born. At The North Face, our Icons were born on the edges of the Himalayas and adopted by the streets of New York, London, Paris, or Tokyo. In our second collaboration with Cecilie Bahnsen, we’ve looked at icons of the past and present through her lens. Together, we’ve explored the edges of our brand through silhouette, materialization, and technique all while honoring both brands’ DNA,” explained North Face’s design director, David Whetstone. 

The collection launches with a campaign shot by Ellen Fedors along the coastlines of Mølle and Kullaberg in Sweden. Styled by Emelie Johansson, the imagery captures The North Face athletes — including trail runner Ida-Sophie Hegemann and boulderer Melina Costanza — alongside models navigating the dramatic Scandinavian landscape.

“The campaign is about wanderlust and authenticity, about finding strength in landscapes that feel both intimate and infinite,” added Bahnsen. “It was important to me that the women in the images, whether athletes or models, embody a sense of determination, but also ease. That balance feels true to how I design, and to how these pieces should live in the world.”
